96 kilograms works out to 15 st 1.6 lb. The calculation is 96 × 0.1574730444, and the unrounded result is 15.1174122641 stones, which is the number to use if this feeds into anything else.
At 96 kg, BMI works out to 37.5 at 1.60 m, 33.2 at 1.70 m, 29.6 at 1.80 m and 26.6 at 1.90 m. The healthy band tops out at 25, so the same weight can sit in three different categories depending on height — which is the whole limitation of the index.
